The pool facility was clean and comfortable, the... - Review of Coast Blackcomb Suites at Whistler

Well off the beaten path, Coast offers a slope-side location that no doubt is tremendous for ski season. The off-village location is a great summer getaway for those not eager to get into town and able to fend for themselves for food... The latter due to the hotel lacking a full kitchen/restaurant. Continental breakfast was included, with the standard fare - ok if over sweet pastries, cereals, apples/oranges, and a waffle station. For a place with no food service options, and for the price (free), perfectly adequate. A small canteen in the lobby offers packaged food (including dry pasta and sauces), which could easily be made in the "Whistler-standard" in room kitchenette.

Clean rooms and very attentive service, the hotel boasts one of the most affable, courteous and helpful staff we've encountered, with special attention going to Brydey at the front. If ever there were a 5-star calibre of guest service, she is it. Kudos and thanks!

The pool facility was clean and comfortable, the 'health club' spartan but empty - fairly standard hotel fare for a 'gym'.

Our room had a lingering smell of smoke, but only slightly (noticed but not bothered by)... Front desk offered up a cleaner to come put an ionizer in, and sent maintenance around to offer the same. The attention to service is spot on.

Only downsides were these:The bed. Never have we slept on more firm (including waking up on a deflated air mattress on a rocky pad while camping). Really not a great sleep... May be a one-off, don't know. I'm certain if we called down it would have been taken care of though, one way or another.

The rooms are dated. The feel is certainly not 'motel' but the furnishings and decor are showing age, if we'll cared for. The place feels like a comfortable home rather than an amenity laden resort. If you're looking for a luxury resort, this will disappoint. If you're looking for creature comforts and feeling welcome with amazing service and comfortable relaxation 'away from it all', the Coast is a great choice.

The couch in the living room is obviously a pull-out, but they were still less comfortable than we'd prefer. A narrow seat with a hard ridge along the front... we'd hoped to spend more time on the couch with our wine, but found ourselves moving to the patio and kitchen instead.

What Brydey was to excellent customer service, her coworker this morning at checkout was to disinterested service. No asking how the night was, not really much of even a hint of a smile. Very 'going-through-the-motions' while obviously doing other things that needed to be done (stuffing the room-key holders with the little leaflets)... A little disappointing, especially on back of our previous experience.

As with much in life and hospitality, the Coast features a specific set of amenities and caters to a certain desire - if it's what you're after, they do it well. Just be sure to look at what's on offer and make sure it's all you need - do that and you'll have a wonderful stay.

***Whistler village offers a FREE bus service to the Village from literally steps outside the front door. NOT pet friendly, but a nice option if you choose to visit town and leave your car at the hotel.

So far this is the only property this high up. Wonderful view. We were upgraded to a suite. Very nice! Front room with a gas fireplace. But in June we didn't need it. Kitchen was quite adequate. TV in front room as well as bedroom. Bed very comfortably .BBQ for patrons use off the eating area Hot tub and pool are clean and were busy as fathers day weekend.There is a little wait to the use the waffle iron, worth the wait. Good selection of cereals A bus every 15 min. to take you into the village.. Hotel well maintained. Reception staff well informed. Parking secure underground $18 per night. We may be back in Sept. An anniversary.

Stayed here for ladies weekend in April, and know that when we return to Whistler in September this won't be the hotel we stay in.Maid service did not make the beds, which, in my opinion, is one of the nicest reasons to stay in a hotel - a freshly made bed every night, especially after a day of ziplining!We also requested extra towels, which were provided. However, the towels left on the ground to be refreshed (there were a couple, but not all the towels), were not taken. So we had soiled, wet towels left on the floor that were not able to be re-used.The breakfast was OK - it was a typical hotel breakfast, and very busy. We went down in shifts and brought it back to our room.We were in a two bedroom suite, and the set up is definitely great for families, Coast just needs to get its staff on board with hotel services.

Dear Travellinfamily2002,

Thank you for choosing to stay at the Coast Blackcomb Suites at Whistler. We are very sorry to read that your stay with us was not up to your expectations.

It is our standard to provide a full Housekeeping service daily, which would include making of the beds and changing of towels left for refresh on a daily basis. The only time that this service would not be provided would be when a guest has left their do not disturb sign on the door for the day. We are very sorry that you did not receive the full service that we do provide.

Please contact me directly. We would like to set this right for you and we hope to have the opportunity to change your mind about us. We take great pride and delivering fantastic service and in delivering a memorable stay for all of our guests. Sometimes we make mistakes and hopefully we can resolve this for you. I look forward to hearing from you.

This has the best ski-in ski-out location in Whistler. If you are there to ski it's brilliant. The bus into the village is great and as it goes almost every 10 minutes we rarely had to wait long for it. We had a studio apartment and the kitchen facilities were more than adequate even though we did quite a bit of cooking there. The hot tubs are brilliant after a full day skiing. The staff were all friendly and efficient. The housekeeping staff always had a smile and a friendly hello for us. We stayed here for 3 weeks in Jan/Feb 2013 and after considering other options, perhaps nearer the village, we are planning to go back to the Coast for 3 weeks in 2014.

Firstly the breakfast was great in the hotel but if you want the waffles make sure you get down there early.

The room itself was right on, it was me and a mate and we had two double beds, one of which was a sofa bed so that had to get packed up every day but was still comfy enough.

If there was any more people the space might be an issue but it had all the facilities you could ask for with coffee and towells every day.

The 2 hot tubs and swimming pool were well kept but make sure you hit them early as they get busy, it also had a gym that we didn't use but had all the basic equipment you would want.

The location was brilliant for boarding as it was board in and out, it wasnt the same if you wanted to go to the lower village where most things are. There is a bus stop outside with regular buses, every 15 mins but .

The hotel would do brilliantly if it had its own bar, the only thing missing from the place really, and of course being closer to the lower village

Good breakfast. Accept pets. Clean. The pool and 2 hot tubs are great. It's always shocking to know at the front desk that you have to pay $20 per night to park your car in the garage as this is excluded from the room rate. Unfortunately you can't park anywhere else and is far from the village so you need the car. Recommend to others. Very family oriented

Room Tip: Please be aware you have to pay $20 per night to park your car. There is no parking elsewhere.

My husband and I stayed in Whistler for 2 nights during our honeymoon and this is where we spent the second night. We were pleasantly surprised when we entered our room. It was like a cosy little log cabin and we liked it instantly. It's away from the noise of the nightlife which suited us and they provide a free shuttle service that leaves the hotel every half hour or so if you want to be a part of it or just go for dinner somewhere. The breakfast was very good and filled us up well for the next leg of our journey. A great place to stay at a fantastic price. We would definitively stay again if we had the pleasure of returning to Whistler.
